I was recently noted that there were some reactions about these ‘blogs’ on the VPRO site.
If I could react on some of them. Maybe it is good to say that at the moment we do not have access to the Internet, I can only send e-mails.  
We hope that on one of the upcoming days, we be visible again for the satellites so people can see us again and we can see the outside world via the Internet.
When that happens, I will take a peak on the website and all the questions.

The Trade Wind turns on this hemisphere against the clock, around a stabile high pressure area which lies on a moderate latitude.

In the beginning of this section of the journey, the wind was coming in from portside.  But the more we head west, the wind turns right to the stern.

Since the wind is coming from right behind us, we got the stun sails hoisted on both sides of the ship. The Clipper is now 4 times as width as the hull. This must be an impressive sight, but there is nobody to agree, except a flying fish.
